Aunt Leah welcomed each and all of us. She held me in her arms first time when she in her first year after she graduated from Waterloo. I was infant son of one of her seven brothers, Bob & Dorthy firstborn and second grandchild. Aunt Leah lived much like her mother a wonderful beautiful strong matriarch of her home before and after the death of her husband Uncle Ed. Peace, happy memories of the wonderful heritage of Hagar/Sebert families: Love of the land, family, our faith in the God of Jesus and grateful proud Americans.
